Arsene Wenger – Defence Must Improve To Win Premier League

Arsene Wenger has told his Arsenal team that they need to improve defensively if they want to be Premier League winners.

Arsenal’s quest for Premier League glory is entering its 11th season after finishing fourth in 2013-14 – five points adrift of champions Manchester City.

The London club conceded a total of 41 goals throughout the league campaign – the fourth-best defensive record behind Chelsea (27), City (37) and Everton (39).

Of the 41 goals shipped, 17 of those came against City, Liverpool and Chelsea, and Wenger is aware Arsenal can ill afford to do the same this season as they aim to win the Premier League for the first time since 2004.
